Yeah, the GNU/Linux people seem to have died off long ago. It was one of those big trends once upon a time.

Richard Stallman died off? .... (joke)

I swear, in EVERY conversation I've heard him engage, he spins the conversation into the naming (GNU/Linux... NOT Linux). I think in the flick Revolution OS he talked about it no less than 60 times.

That movie also hinted at what a total psycho Eric S Raymond also is with his bizarre explosive behaviour. He's also pretty... pretty extremely sexist and actually not even really that technical, he's more like Stallman. What I do like is him complaining about Stallman, sometimes it's pretty funny what he writes and calls him out on.

I managed to get the gatorade out!

We had a few snack vending machines and a soda machine briefly but we had to get rid of them because some of the employees started spending too much time trying to figure out ways to defeat them and get things for free. At first I was fine with this but it really did take up way too much time, especially after they got the first time figured out it become a quest to get the others.

Or maybe I was hustled, because now we provide even more snacks and drinks for free in our pantry/kitchen.

@david.wiese We get ones that are addressed to our two accountants though is what I was referencing, not just the obvious ones, their names too. Which is unusual because these email addresses are not public and do not contain their names. It made me wonder if PayPal got hacked or what a while ago.

Of course it exists (awesome things tend to get ported ), I use it all the time, and I have for years. It's pretty great. Not only that but you can get a lot of tools on Windows:

http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/

I can't use Windows without this, that is the base and a lot of the packages (wget especially; yes I use both wget and curl :P)

@Dashrender I'm just saying we have a similar problem and it's really bizarre, and we go through a lot to keep much of our company operations hidden, not because we're the mob or anything, but because adult entertainment gets a lot of BS

@tonyshowoff I agree. Wildcard support would be excellent, but the price is right Remember that you can generate more then one. (domain.com, mail.domain.com, owncloud.domain.com, etc)

Indeed, like I said, great start, if nothing else hopefully it will cause the prices in wildcards to drop due to fears of people leaving their current issuers.

Redis is also the default database for NodeBB. But Redis doesn't scale like MongoDB and is nowhere near as robust. So MangoLassi runs on MongoDB, not Redis. We are practically the only NodeBB site doing that, though. We are the biggest NodeBB traffic site, as far as I know.

I kept reading for a long time that Redis was hot shoot in a champaign glass, and we tested replacing some memcached servers and some MongoDB servers with it and I have to say that we realised there were problems fairly quickly. I liked how setting up different parts of Redis was easier, however there were huge latency issues and scalability problems as far as clustering/slaving went that caused us to go back to MongoDB.

I should note that now though we're moving away from MongoDB to Cassandra, which works a lot better and actually scales even better than MongoDB and doesn't suffer from the strange paging issue (with millions of documents) that MongoDB does, i.e. works fairly well.

Right now many things are using both until we can transfer old data from our MongoDB servers to Cassandra, but it's a few dozen terabytes of data.

I'm here to say that Redis may work for some, but as far as I'm concerned, compared to memcached (it'd be nice if it did have clustering, though) and MongoDB or Cassandra, it's cold diarrhoea in a dixie cup.

@Dashrender There aren't any. The best you can do is probably:

We told Mini-nadnerB that the Easter Bunny isn't real. Which is a very good thing as rabbits are an introduced pest here. No love for introduced pests in my house.

But the easter bunny is Australian. At least according to the movie, "The Guardians"

Impossible, his name isn't Bruce

If this is the worst you've got it, that's pretty good compared to most people. I wouldn't really call this much of a power trip, and I certainly wouldn't quit my job over it. There is no singing at work, too.

Unless you're leaving things out, I mean just don't sing, and since crap rolls down hill, you just gotta deal with this stuff and move up the ladder, and you certainly never move up the ladder by pissing off your managers and singing at work, even if there's no customers around. There's a certain expectation of a minimal standard, I'd find out what it is and follow it.

I may sound like a jerk in this, but I've gotten similar complaints from my employees about their own managers, and it just makes them look bad, not the manager. Try working in a restaurant for a while, that'll learn ya

Just hose that off it'll be fine, don't worry about it

@Dashrender said in ownCloud Founder and CTO Leaves to Pursue Other Opportunities:

Well the good thing.. since it currently is open source.. it can be forked and someone else who does believe in open source can take over and keep it going.

I think even if a company doesn't have open source software, when it folds, instead of deleting everything or letting it sit on a shelf, they should release it. There are cases where parts of it may be patented/copyrighted/whatever by some company and licensed, so those parts maybe not include and make that clear, but the rest, why not?

Not just regular ol' software, but web services as well. So many .coms are gone and their stuff is just lost forever, all the work serves no purpose, and may not even exist any more.

If my company ever folds, I certainly plan on releasing whatever we have, but that's not even a big deal because they're web services. When it comes to operating systems and other forms of classical software people depend on, it really seems almost criminal to keep it locked away forever, for no damn reason.

tl;dr: I agree.

@scottalanmiller You always have the choice to build your own tractor....

Which is really what needs to be done, an agricultural consortium should build the closed parts and make open tractors.

That's a really cool idea.
